"Daddy, I'm going to eat ice cream!"

Nathan said a little boy of mixed race of five or six to his father.

Bruce Lee heard his son shouting, and then came back to his senses, "Ah, what? ”

"Hao said he was going to eat ice cream." Wife Linda said to her husband.

Bruce Lee smiled, picked up Li Guohao, and said highly: "If you eat too much ice cream, you will lose your teeth, why don't you ask your dad to eat fried chestnuts, I loved to eat them when I was a child!" ”

"No, I'm going to eat ice cream! In addition, I don't like to eat here, I hate steamed buns, I hate to eat steamed buns, shrimp dumplings, and fish balls that explode when you pinch them! I'm going to have pizza, cheese, steak! Li Guohao shouted.

Bruce Lee put him down, bent down to look down at his son, pointed his finger at his son's nose, and said with a serious expression: "Na, I don't care what you like to eat!" But there is one thing you have to remember, you are Chinese, no matter where you are, at any time you must remember this! We must not do anything that harms us Chinese! ”

Li Guohao was only five or six years old, where did he understand this, he was so frightened that tears began to roll in his eyes.

Linda hugged the child in her arms: "Look at you, the child is still young, what should you do if you scare him?" ”

Bruce Lee rubbed his nose: "It's because you're small that you have to educate well!" If you grow up, it's not easy! ”

"I think you're in a bad mood, so it's the one who makes fun of the child!" Linda Bai's husband glanced at her, "You have had a straight face from yesterday to now, and you don't tell you what happened." ”

Bruce Lee saw that his wife was angry, so he sighed, hugged his arms and walked forward.

Linda picked up the child from behind, casually took the Kun bag in her hand, and followed closely: "What the hell, you tell me!" Since I am married to you, I will share your worries. ”

Bruce Lee looked at the bustling street scene of Nathan Road, and said, "It's nothing." You know, Hollywood discriminates against Chinese seriously, no matter how good my kung fu is or how good my acting skills are, I can't get the eyes of those big guys. Even so far, my best role in Hollywood was playing a Japanese man in Aomine-kyo! ”

Bruce Lee's expression was depressed when he said this, and he looked depressed.

In fact, it is.

When Bruce Lee was a teenager, his family sent him to the United States, where he was born, and on December 2, 1960, he entered the Edison Technical School in Seattle.

Bruce Lee's life in Seattle was quite difficult, and after entering college, he focused on studying martial arts in addition to studying. He organized a "Chinese Kung Fu Team" in the school, and often practiced and performed on campus, which won praise from teachers and students.

Bruce Lee's hard work has produced "Li Sanjiao", "Inch Fist" and "Hook Leak Hand". In order to promote Chinese martial arts, Bruce Lee rented a parking lot corner of the campus as a martial arts hall during his second year of college, and hung up the sign of "Zhenfan Guoshu Museum". He taught and practiced at the same time, honed hard, and made great progress in his skills, especially in his leg skills. In the Zhenfan Guoshu Museum, he met Linda, a female medical student who came to learn martial arts, who is now his wife.

In 1966, in order to revitalize traditional Chinese kung fu, Bruce Lee planned to make movies, so he began to enter Hollywood and shoot the big production "The Green Hornet".

And this play has also become his most famous play, and none of the films he participated in later Hollywood films surpassed this play.

The reason is very simple, it's not that he's not good enough, but because he's so good that even a supporting role steals the limelight from the protagonist.

This is not a good sign for white-dominated Hollywood.

So in the following time, Bruce Lee couldn't find a good role, and the roles given to him by Hollywood were some unimportant scraps, so he had no room to play at all.

In desperation, Bruce Lee is ready to take advantage of the opportunity to return to Hong Kong to save his relatives and return to Hong Kong with his wife and children, ready to find opportunities in Hong Kong and show his ambitions.

First of all, he aimed at the Hong Kong film giant Shaw Brothers.

Shaw Brothers has developed extremely fast over the years, and Bruce Lee has also heard of it in Hollywood, so the first thing he did when he came back was to contact Shaw Brothers boss Shao Yifu and wanted to discuss the details of his cooperation.

Here, Bruce Lee completely regards himself as a partner, rather than a big star who relies on a "deed of sale" filming to support his family.

In Bruce Lee's view, he is from Hollywood and has rich filming experience, so he can help Shaw Brothers enter the Hollywood market in addition to filming, so that both parties can win together.

So in the negotiation with Shao Tycoon, Bruce Lee put forward a lot of content that is extremely arrogant and harsh in Shao Tycoon.

For example, Bruce Lee asked to control the filming process throughout the process, with one person acting as the protagonist and director, and even the producer and producer.

If it doesn't cost money, Shao Daheng is of course willing to use such a labor for free, and by the way, learn what is in Hollywood.

It's a pity that Bruce Lee is from the United States and has one of the characteristics of an American, that is, he is paid to do anything, such as helping people mow the lawn, or even helping people walk their dogs, which all have to be charged. So he himself acts as a director, producer and producer, all of which have to be charged.

If these fees are lower, Shao Daheng, who is lonely and stingy by nature, can also accept it.

But Bruce Lee's conditions are equivalent to those offered by Hollywood, everything is calculated in US dollars, so in this way, his salary alone is several times higher than that of the same type in Hong Kong, which makes even a steamed bun How can Shao Tycoon accept it?

The end result was that the two broke up unhappily.

Now Bruce Lee has been idle in Hong Kong for more than a month, but he doesn't even have any income, his family wants him to support, and the martial arts gym in the United States also needs to invest more, so he is at a loss.

If it was the trajectory of the previous life, he would have accepted the invitation of Hong Kong's Golden Harvest Film Company last summer and signed two films with a salary of $15,000.

The first is "Tangshan Big Brother" with the theme of Chinese martial arts, the budget of the film is only 100,000 US dollars, and the script is also written while shooting, but in this case, it has set a record for the highest box office of a film since the opening of Hong Kong, reaching 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

The second movie is even more remarkable, which is "Jingwumen", which created a box office myth in Hong Kong, in which Bruce Lee plays "Chen Zhen", which is also the most classic role in his life, surpassing everything.

It's a pity that because of the appearance of Du Yongxiao, butterflies instigated their wings and changed some historical trajectories.

First of all, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang and others were collectively incorporated by Du Yongxiao, and Du Yongxiao established "Jiahe" and "Shaw Brothers" to fight.

Secondly, Golden Harvest has stars like Wang Yu, Sammo Hung, and Jackie Chan, although many people are not yet famous, but the actor reserve is very rich, and there is no shortage of people, so Golden Harvest is not interested in Bruce Lee from Hollywood, and he did not personally invite him to Golden Harvest for an interview.

This put Bruce Lee in a very awkward position.

It feels like a "priceless and marketable" commodity, with a high self-esteem, but no one pays attention.

His wife Linda didn't understand her husband's feelings, and comforted: "You have a saying in China, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village, don't think too much about everything, maybe the opportunity will come soon!" Yes, I prayed to God last night that He would bless us with good luck. ”

Seeing his wife say this, Bruce Lee could only smile self-deprecatingly with his arms crossed: "Maybe I should lower my own value, just like Mr. Shao said, don't use Hollywood to talk to him, this is Hong Kong." ”

Thinking of the unhappy parting with Shao Tycoon, Bruce Lee shook his head again.

He has such a personality, unruly, and very confident, Shao Daheng happens to dislike such people the most, he needs a good actor who is obedient and obedient, not a partner.

Just as Bruce Lee shook his head, a man in a checkered shirt suddenly burst out from behind Linda, snatched the Kun bag she was holding, and ran away.

Linda was caught off guard by the child, and only when the man ran away did she react: "My handbag!" ”

Bruce Lee was still mourning and complaining to himself, and when he heard the words, he woke up and immediately caught up.

The man was extremely fast, agile, dodging pedestrians and vehicles on the street, and he looked like a practitioner.

Bruce Lee ran wildly behind him, equally agile.

A car honked its horn and crashed into it.

Bruce Lee jumped in a leap, propped up on the front of the car with one arm, and the whole person flew into the air, so startled that the driver opened his mouth wide: "Flyer? ”

The man looked back, but he didn't expect Bruce Lee to chase after him, take a breath, and run wildly again.

Bruce Lee took a deep breath, and this time he directly hurdled from the fruit stall, who booked the newsstand, and took a shortcut to catch up.

There was chaos in the streets.

The two are getting closer.

At a teahouse, the man stopped running, leaned over, bent down, panting and looking up at Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee saw that the other party couldn't run, looked at him with disdain, then stretched out his finger to point at the other party, then clenched his fist, and finally rubbed his nose with a lonely look.

The meaning is very simple, put your things down and leave, or you will be killed.

The Hua Gege man smiled and pointed to his nose: "You know, my name is Dawei, and I am a student of Hong Boxing!" ”

As he spoke, Dawei threw his handbag to the ground, then moved his wrist and neck.

Bruce Lee smiled, pointed at him, and raised his index finger to sweep, meaning that you are not qualified.

Dawei also smiled, "I didn't talk about anyone, I know you're amazing, so -——"

Footsteps rang out.

Bruce Lee looked back, but saw another man coming from behind, and said with a smile: "You know, my name is Xiwei, I am his Xiaowei, and I am also a scholar of Hongquan!" After speaking, he took a fist pose.

Bruce Lee's eyes narrowed.

Through the running just now, he has already seen that this Dawei is not an ordinary person, and he should be skilled.

However, he is not at ease, and he is confident that he can defeat the other party.

But now that someone from the other party has come out, he has to take it seriously.

Tea House, second floor.

A man in white bit a cigarette in his mouth, looked down below and was about to start a fight, and asked the people around him: "Ah Xian, who do you buy to win?" ”

"Of course, it's the brothers Dawei and Xiwei!" Zhuang Dingxian said, "As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands!" ”

The man in white nodded, "Okay, I'll bet with you!" I buy Bruce Lee and win, bet a hundred dollars! ”
